Hello,

I am currently working on a little (but ambitious) networking library, using code I had been writing in the past as well as new code. Since it might be useful to other people, I thought it would be a good idea to have it hosted on common-lisp.net, if the domain administrators agree on the usefulness of such a thing. Here are the details:

Project name: unetwork

Developer name: Matthieu Villeneuve

License: LGPL

Description: unetwork is a Common Lisp networking library. Its goal is to work on all CL implementations, and to support:

• sockets (UDP, TCP)
• address resolution
• various protocols (HTTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, NNTP, IRC,...)

Status: Currently, only CMUCL is supported (tested). Support for SBCL is being added. Sockets and name resolution work. Basic operations work for HTTP, SMTP, POP, NNTP.

Cool!

/me approves.

Regards, Mario.

Project name: unetwork

Sounds very good! I approve.

However, Have you considered using LLGPL instead of LGPL?

http://opensource.franz.com/preamble.html

LGPL is ok, but subject to interpretation when used with Lisp due to it's C-centric jargon. For example: is dumping a core static or dynamic linking? What about fasl-loading? Are new methods dispatching on the classes in the library work that uses the library, or work based on the library?
